Definitions
- This invention pertains to a protective glove for a firefighter, an emergency rescue worker, or another worker in a high-heat area, wherein the protective glove has a leather face, a leather back, and, possibly, a leather forchette.
- a protective glove for a firefighter, an emergency rescue worker, or another worker in a high-heat area has an outer shell, which is made from a suitable leather, such as cowhide or elkhide, and which comprises a leather face having a peripheral edge, a leather back having a peripheral edge, and a leather forchette.
- a suitable leather such as cowhide or elkhide
- the leather face is worn over the palm of the wearer's hand
- the leather back is worn over the back of the wearer's hand
- the leather forchette separates the leather face and the leather back.
- the leather forchette has a peripheral edge, which is sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather face and a peripheral edge sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather back.
- the leather forchette is omitted and the peripheral edge of the leather back is sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather face.
- the protective glove has an intermediate liner providing a moisture barrier, or a moisture and chemical barrier, and an inner liner providing thermal insulation.
- an intermediate liner providing a moisture barrier, or a moisture and chemical barrier
- an inner liner providing thermal insulation.
- air within the protective glove also provides thermal insulation.
- an outer shell made from a suitable leather such as cowhide or elkhide
- a suitable leather such as cowhide or elkhide
- an outer shell made from such a leather has an undesirable tendency to shrink around the wearer's hand, whereby to drive insulative air from the protective glove, when the outer shell is exposed to high heat, particularly at the leather back.
- This invention provides, for a firefighter or for an emergency rescue worker, a protective glove having an outer shell, which comprises a leather face, which further comprises a leather back having a peripheral edge and being attached to the leather face, and which further comprises a heat-resistant, flexible, fabric cover covering at least a portion or at least portions of the leather back so as to protect the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back against direct exposure to high heat that would tend to shrink the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back if the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back were not protected by the heat-resistant cover.
- the leather back in its entirety is covered by the heat-resistant cover.
- a peripheral edge of the heat-resistant cover is sewn to a peripheral edge of the leather back.
- the heat-resistant cover is made from an aramid or polybenzamidazole fabric.
- the protective glove has an outer shell, which comprises a leather face having a peripheral edge, which further comprises a leather back having a peripheral edge, which further comprises a leather forchette having two peripheral edges, one said edge of the leather forchette being sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather face and the other edge of the leather forchette being sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather back, and which further comprises a heat-resistant cover, as described in the preceding paragraph.
- the heat-resistant cover covers at least a portion or at least portions of the leather back so as to protect the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back against direct exposure to high heat that would tend to shrink the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back if the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back were not protected by the heat-resistant cover.
- the leather back in its entirety is covered by the heat-resistant cover.
- a peripheral edge of the heat-resistant cover is sewn to a peripheral edge of the leather back.
- the heat-resistant cover is made from an aramid or polybenzamidazole fabric.
- the sole FIGURE is a back elevation of a protective glove constituting a preferred embodiment of this invention.
- the index finger of the protective glove is curled, as indicated by a curved arrow, so as to reveal a leather face of the protective glove.
- a portion of a heat-resistant cover is peeled back, so as to reveal a leather back of the protective glove.
- a protective glove 10 for a firefighter or for an emergency rescue worker has an outer shell, which is made from a suitable leather, such as cowhide or elkhide, and which comprises a leather face 20 having a peripheral edge 22 , a leather back 30 having a peripheral edge 32 , and a leather forchette 40 having a front peripheral edge 42 and having a back peripheral edge 44 .
- a suitable leather such as cowhide or elkhide
- the front peripheral edge 42 of the leather forchette 40 is sewn to the peripheral edge 22 of the leather face 20 .
- the back peripheral edge 44 of the leather forchette 40 is sewn to the peripheral edge 32 of the leather back 30 .
- the leather forchette 40 is omitted and the peripheral edge 32 of the leather back 30 is sewn to the peripheral edge 22 of the leather face 20 .
- the protective glove 10 may have an intermediate liner (not illustrated) providing a moisture barrier, or a moisture and chemical barrier, and an inner liner (not illustrated) providing thermal insulation. When the protective glove 10 is worn, air within the protective glove 10 also provides thermal insulation.
- a heat-resistant cover 50 having a peripheral edge 52 sewn to the peripheral edge 32 of the leather back 30 . If the leather forchette 40 is utilized, the peripheral edge 52 of the heat-resistant cover 50 is sewn also to the back peripheral edge 44 of the leather forchette 40 .
- the heat-resistant cover is made from an aramid fabric, such as a NomexTM or KevlarTM fabric, or from a polybenzamidazole fabric, which may be otherwise called a PBI fabric.
- aramid fabric such as a NomexTM or KevlarTM fabric
- PBI fabric polybenzamidazole fabric
- the heat-resistant cover 50 covers the leather back 30 in its entirety.
- the heat-resistant cover protects the leather back 30 in its entirety against direct exposure to high heat that would tend to shrink the leather back 30 in its entirety if the leather back 30 in its entirety were not protected by the heat-resistant cover 50 .
- the heat-resistant cover 50 does not cover the leather back 30 in its entirety but covers a portion or portions of the leather back 30 , such as the broad portion illustrated below the thumb and fingers in the drawing or the portions covering the thumb and fingers.
- the heat-resistant cover protects the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back 30 against direct exposure to high heat that would tend to shrink the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back 30 if the covered portion or covered portions of the leather back 30 were not protected by the heat-resistant cover 50 .
